Chapter 341 Chapter 340: Demon King's Blessings

RUMBLE~RUMBLE!

The ground shook as the monster made a slight moment, but Zach didn't move an inch.

He activated the Demon King's blessing and got consumed by rage.

When Zach used the Phoenix's blessings, his body turned into a Phoenix-like fire, but the demon had no magic element.

Strange marks appeared on Zach's body, but they disappeared soon after and got replaced by stripes. His eye sockets and the surrounding part turned black, and lines came out of it that spread on his entire body. Then, his eyes turned red, and two tiny horns sprouted from his forehead.

With a cloth ripping sound, a tail popped out of his back with a sharp, triangular blade at the end.

Cerberus, who watched Zach transform into a demon, couldn't help but hope for the best. He wished that Zach remained sane, but it was already too late.

p-0.

It was Zach's first time transforming into a demon, and even if he wanted to, it was impossible to stay sane.

The only thought in his mind was rage through and through.

He jumped from the top of the monster and landed a few meters away from it.

The dagger was still plunged inside the monster, and its HP was decreasing every pa.s.sing second. Zach equipped his gloves and conjured a spear in his hand, but it soon changed into a chain with a sharp blade in the end, which reminded Cerberus of how he was hunted down by Zach when they first met.

Zach swung the chain in the air and launched it at the monster, but the monster ate it as though it was a fly. Not only that, but it also began to suck Zach's mana, so Zach had to let go of the chain.

Suddenly, the monster's body began to glow, and it shot a laser beam that was three times more potent than the soul eater of the 75th floor.

One would expect Zach to run away or hide from the beam as it could literally raze everything on its way and even burn the very ashes. But instead, Zach stood there and stopped the beam with his hands.

However, instead of absorbing it like the last time when he got the gloves overloaded and damaged, this time, he blocked the beam with his left hand and directed it to his right hand, from where he shot it back at the monster.

The gloves had the ability to absorb any magic and store it to a certain limit, but they could also cast the same magic as the opponent after absorbing it. Here, Zach was already aware that he wouldn't be able to absorb it, so he simply changed the trajectory to the beam to let the monster taste its own medicine.

The monster's body was burned from the side, and its HP decreased drastically by 10%.

Zach remained unfazed and glared at the monster with an emotionless gaze. He was giving off such a cold aura that it could be sensed from the atmosphere. If any player was near him, they would rather commit suicide than encounter him.

The monster was enraged by the attack and rushed towards Zach to crush it under its ma.s.sive body. It knew that the magic attack wouldn't work on him, and the physical attack was nearly useless as it was impossible to penetrate its thick skin.

If the monster crushed Zach, he wouldn't be able to do anything and die, or so the monster had been thinking. However, Zach's demon mode wasn't just for show.

As soon as the monster got near enough to Zach, he sprouted devil wings from his back and raised his hand in the air.

The cursed dagger that was plunged into the monster's body all this time reverberated and was pulled back into Zach's hands. As soon as that happened, the marks on his body covered the gloves, and his hands slowly turned into claws.

The dagger kept shaking as though it was trembling in the presence of the demon king and the red gem on it shone brightly before cracking and spreading the light around the dagger.

For some reason, the marks that covered the gloves also sheathed the dagger and changed its shape to something bigger than a dagger but smaller than a sword.

Even the color of the dagger had changed, and it emitted black matter matching with Zach's aura that kept growing dark and cold.

It was at this moment when Cerberus realized that the longer Zach stayed in the demon form, the more insane he would get by the rage.

The monster kept das.h.i.+ng at Zach even after his form had evolved, and as soon as it opened its mouth and jumped on Zach, the dagger in Zach's hand turned into mist and disappeared.

Cerberus was about to jump out of the shadow to help Zach, but he stopped when he saw the mist taking shape.

The monster was still in the air when the mist covered it and entered its body through the small holes. And before the monster could land on the floor, its HP dropped to 0, and it died.

[...!] Cerberus couldn't believe his eyes. How could a level 300 monster with 100,000,000 HP, who had no weakness and could eat anything, die instantly? What did Zach do?

Cerberus' mind was filled with those questions, but he still couldn't dare to come out of the shadow.

The mist that had entered the monster's body came out and turned into the dagger again. And Zach absorbed it like his other weapons.

The cursed dagger had the ability to pa.s.sively deplete the HP of the opponent it touched, but the ability or the damage couldn't stack. Zach's demon form changed that.

The mist was none other than the very minute pieces of the dagger that worked as an individual dagger and stacked the damage.

Normally, it would take 16 minutes for any monster to die, but that changed to less than a mere second.
